Rowing

  • The Royal Navy & Royal Marine Amateur Rowing Association The Royal Navy & Royal Marine Amateur Rowing Association (RN & RM ARA) formed in 1964, following keen interest in the sport at the former engineering college at Manadon in Plymouth. Before this time, rowing throughout the Navy had generally been sporadic and confined to the Naval College at Dartmouth, although whaler and gig racing were strongly supported for several centuries across the Navy.

    The Club consists of 3 main parts. RN Squads, Plymouth Command and Portsmouth Command. Individual units RM Condor, Thunderer Squadron and Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth also have their own clubs. Most clubs meet weekly, with coaching usually available locally. All clubs have instructors capable of teaching beginners; funds are also available for professional coaches.
